CSM59 Cities + Online
Hunting ends its run while keeping its lead as the top drama online though it has dropped a few spots in television rankings to make way for Realize Our Dreams and the newly-premiered Autumn Cicada. Serenade of Peaceful Joy which has taken the top spot throughout its run still leads based on CSM59 ratings albeit with a noticeable decline in numbers from its previous highs of 3.068% to just above 2%. Is anyone watching this because I truly wonder why? The same declining trend can be seen for many of the television dramas that are just over 1.5% in CSM59 ratings.
TV dramas Hunting, Serenade of Peaceful Joy and Autumn Cicada are the top 3 dramas online. Although Legend of Awakening sits in 4th place, it is currently the top web drama on the list. Girlfriend, Intense Love and Closer to You which all fall into the romance genre rank from 6th to 9th while Antique Bureau Midgame which marks the return of actor Xia Yu in another antique-hunting adventure ranks in 9th.
All three of the Hunting cast members Wang Kai, Liu Yijun and Wang Ou are in the top 10 while Allen Ren Jialun Jialun shoots up to first with the premiere of his spy drama Autumn Cicada.
